"Once upon a time, there was a peaceful town called Jueru. Everyone was happy and loved the kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a kind king. One day the kind king turned sick and was soon going to die. He gave his son everything he owned before he passed away. After his death, the people were already talking about the king. "Foolish King! Foolish King!" the people would say. The prince over heard everything and soon figured out that the king's death wasn't naturally. The king was actually poisoned by the chef's food. The chef had put poison in the king's drink and the peasants, who have told the king's that they were poor, were actually filthy rich. They were all after the kind king's treasures and wealth. After the prince figured out everything, he kicked everyone out of the kingdom. He refused to listen to all the peasants' problems. He turned heartless and never trusted anyone again. Soon the people got angry and rebelled by leaving Jueru. The people made a new town called Kuristaru. Yet people were still dying because the soil to farm wasn't as good as in the other kingdom.
"Why do we have to suffer here while the Prince is sitting on his ass?" complained a peasant. The Kuristas now tried to fight the Juerus. During the years, the Juerus tried to make peace with the Kuristas but they always had refused. "We'll not give in until the prince is dead!" said a Kurista. But Legend says that the prince is still living in that abandoned castle. The war is even still going on—"
"Ichiro! Don't tell our daughter this. She's too young to know this." said my mother, interrupting my dad's story.
"Shut up, woman! Don't tell me how to teach my daughter! I'll make sure my daughter will be smarter than her stupid mother. Come on Kiku." spat my father.
My dad grabbed my hand and dragged me to my room. I looked back at my mother. She looked upset.
That was the last time I saw her. She ran away from home and left me a note. It only said "Goodbye my daughter. My daughter, Kiku."
